Verification number
We're required by law to publish how many signatures of registered voters are required on a petition on whether we should change to a different form of governance.
Electors can petition us to hold a referendum. The petition must be signed by at least 5% of the registered electors for the District.
This figure is known as the verification number.
Verification number: 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027.
